- ------------------------------------------------------------------
(a) Previous independent accountants.

dismissed Rowles & Company, LLP ("Rowles") as the Registrant's independent
accountants and has engaged Stegman & Company as its independent accountants.

accounting principles.

Registrant's Board of Directors and its Audit Committee.
(iv) During the Registrant's fiscal years ending December 31, 1998 and
December 31, 1999 and the subsequent interim period preceding the dismissal,
there were no disagreements with Rowles on any matter of accounting principles

which, if not resolved to the satisfaction of Rowles, would have caused Rowles

with their report.

"reportable events" (as defined in paragraph (a)(1)(v) of Item 304 of Regulation
